Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
Has anyone seen the kids Lorenzo with a dog that is in an old trunk in an attic and he tells stories from the Book of Mormon and sings songs. If anyone knows what I am talking about Please let me know? I am wondering if you know where I can purchase them.

My kids are slobs. It’s official. I’m a failure as a parent. Today was the first day the kids are out of school, and it rained all day (naturally). They played pretty well, but ate a whole box of cereal on my wool rug. I’ve been working on the website most of the afternoon. I’ve gotten the image nodes, document nodes, and comments displaying pretty cool. I should be able…

My brother made me set up a Facebook account a couple of years ago. None of my friends were on it (back then it was mostly college students), and so I did nothing with it. Later, friend Chad, begged me to get on. Ignored him. Finally, after fb was in the news so much, I decided I better set up an account and figure out what the big deal was….

Pratt This dialogue was published in the New York Herald on January 1, 1844. Parley…

So now you know. Satan deceives. That was an actual license plate on a car I was behind the other day. There are really a lot of gospel messages on plates around here. I can’t decide if I like it or am creeped out by it. The ward temple trip was Friday. We had a really great turnout. Our goal is always 50, and this time we had 48. 26…

Mormon ‘idol’ being crowned – Late last summer, after David Archuleta and Brooke White made it to the finals of the 2008 “American Idol” competition, Bob Wood began to wonder just how many other singers raised in the LDS culture had that kind of talent … [Deseret News LDS Feed] This sounds nice to me. I wish we had better ways of getting information out appropriately to LDS people about…

Stake Conference was today. I am trying to find Christ-like things to say about it, but it’s pretty difficult, actually. Two of the talks were very good, 5 were okay, and two were downright bad. I did laugh out loud when the Mission President’s wife said she thought the next YW value should be guilt! Ha! I could just imagine that section in the personal progress book. 200 pages in…

Jillyne gave an excellent lesson from the Joseph Smith manual during Relief Society on Sunday. The topic was personal apostasy, and she likened it to the story of Lehi’s vision in the Book of Mormon. She brought out a couple of interesting points. As a side note, Alka-seltzer does work for urinary tract infections. I’m in shock.

(Information and quotations are from Bible Dictionary—Hezekiah and Isaiah; Isa. 9:6, Isa. 29:4, Isa. 38:1–8, and Isa. 53:9.) Great are the words of Isaiah (3 Ne. 23:1). Anthony peered out the window of his pretend time machine. It was actually a cardboard box that he had decorated with markers, foil, and other things.

Learning the gospel can be fun! … Together on fam’ly night! (Children’s Songbook, page 195). The door slammed behind Matthew as he ran in the house. He dropped his kindergarten papers on the kitchen table. “I’m home,” he said to his mother, who was spreading peanut butter on bread. “I’m ready to work on my family home evening lesson.” Mother laughed. “Just a minute, son,” she said. “You need to…
